That is different. If your putting a 100k motor in a car than it is most likely a project car that you will be bringing to the track. I have a stock scion that will never be hitting a track, there is no need to put wheels on the car that are worth more than 30% of the cars value. If I had money like that to throw around I wouldnt be driving this car.

 

So your saying that you dropped about 7 G's just on wheels for a scion? I can understand the bimer...if it is a nice one, which I would hope it is. Huge difference between the two. I just can't justify dropping that much on this car, but to each their own.

 

What do you guys think about the TSW Thruxton. I think I like that more than the Hiro's.

 

he's in to expensive/baller wheels, and his car was heavily modified too not stock.. but yeah what ever works for you its fine, just be careful not buying a really crappy one that would break without reason.. axis to me are fine, some said they have had issues but most i know never had one

 

thats what separates a true enthusiast from a person that just has fun.

 

Or just someone who has money and someone who does not. So your saying that you are an enthusiast. Now if I hand you 100k, you will buy a scion or a similar car and dump the rest into the engine because your an enthusiast, rather than buying a 100k car.

 

yep

i would turn the thing into a pure track car and get my name out there =D

sorry man, but i love this car.

 

id do the same, and personally, you dont have to spend a lot of money for nice wheels

i got a set of Volk Racing GT-V wheels in damn near perfect condition for less then a grand

i just picked up a set of SSR SP1 Professors for 1200

thats LESS then what it cost for AXIS or TSW and they are much higher quality

 

i'd do exactly what i did. 50k on the car and 50k in mods

If you search around, you can find some serious steals on gently used, top-notch wheels.

memoryfab.com is nice but you gotta constantly look there, i look on forums

 

aim ****.

 

lol i love wheels and Im broke, yet I manage to get one of the sicker wheels available on the market? Not because I got paper, but because I have love for my car and want it to be FABULOUS ;)

btw im pretty sure Nebster has dropped WAY more than 7k on wheels with tires

 

meh, bbs are okay..

 

lets see here

motegi's (yeah i know don't get me started) were 1500 with 500 in tires - 2k
auto arts were 3k tires were 1k - 4k
works were 3500 tires were 1k - 4.5k
and my new radenergie's are 5k with 1500 in tires - 6.5k

so yeahprobably about 18k in wheels and tires.

 

What you guys think about PIAA wheels?

 

 

blasphemy!

 

wow nebster, your a sick mother. But i am looking around the 1200 range and I like the idea of finding used wheels that are in good condition, but at that point its more like beggars cant be choosers. I will check out memoryfab and see what thats all about. It sux cuz I am inpatient and want wheels like now, so to wait for a good deal is tough even though its smart.
